“We’re so excited to see this year’s utility ad campaigns that generated results for your brand awareness, website traffic, and program participation,” says Sannie Sieper, director of marketing for E Source. “As you start your submissions, think about providing the campaigns that tell a story of internal or external growth. Did utility marketers adapt their advertising methods to connect with customers during these challenging times? That’s what I’m most excited to see.”
An independent group of leading creative directors, graphic designers, art directors, and writers will review and score the entries based on ad effectiveness, objectives, message, memorability, and creativity. E Source will honor the winners at E Source Forum 2022 and publish information about the winning campaigns on the E Source website.
